Carlanda handles the track but arrives out of form and something went amiss with Sparkling Ice at Lingfield last time having won a couple of plating races before that. Cascadia has won here before and should figure once again but ROCKIE ROAD is preferred. Beaten only a length at Lingfield recently, the latter handles this surface and should go very close. Disco Dale has shown little so far but may improve now handicapping for the first time.
